==Critical reception==
''[[Malayala Manorama]]'' called it a good movie.<ref>http://www.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMOnline.dll/portal/ep/malayalamContentView.do?contentId=13228655&tabId=3&BV_ID</ref> ''Now running.com'' rated 1.8 out of 5 stars and stating about artists in the film "Lal, on his part, hams and overdoes things a bit, and his muffled dubbing doesn't ease things either. Meghna Raj and Padmapriya are wasted in roles that do not demand any spectacular histrionics, while Pooja Gandhi does make an impact in a role with shades of grey".<ref>http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/10470/malayalam/maad-dad/4053/review.htm</ref>
